No Oil Pressure What can cause my gauge not to show oil pressure? Its a brand new short block and a Kaytech Oil pump. Ive put 3 different oil pressure sensors on it and nothing. Im gonna pick up a new one monday and hopefully thats it.
What else could I check?
Also is there a way I can check if I have oil pressure by my A Tap?
TIA

Re: No Oil Pressure What I read is disable ignition, remove oil filter. Turn car over; if NO oil shoots out, your pump is dead.
Mine died 3 weeks ago and I'm in the process of figuring out just what I'm going to do. I may have spun a bearing, need to look.

Re: No Oil Pressure how long did you leave the motor running?
i almost started the engine and let it idle till i see oil pressure! not very smart!
some one said that you still get pressure to the bearings but not the oil gallies... not sure though.

Re: No Oil Pressure unplugging the coils is an excellent idea , but when cranking don't expect to see any pressure build up on the guage.
just crank it for 15 sec. more than enough!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
